    LP640 in a rare color, Rosso Vik

    4 day complete detail and paint correction

    [​IMG]

    Few shots of the defects in sunlight, all front hood and bumper wrapped in clear film

    Necessary for cleaning front wheel wells....

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    The car has carbon ceramic brakes, no chemical wheel cleaner was used. Heavy dilution of pH car shampoo and various brushes worked fine.

    [​IMG]

    Tires stripped of old dressing, wheel wells degreased as well

    [​IMG]

    Pre-wash cleanup

    [​IMG]

    Sprayed down the entire car with a diluted degreaser to strip off prior protection and loosen up some grime, car was pressured washed again and began the 2 bucket wash with CG citrus shampoo

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    The car had a lot of bonded contaminants and a very rough feel, clay process took close to 2hours to complete

    [​IMG]

    Plenty of paint to work with, diamond hard clearcoat :shakehead:

    [​IMG]

    Started paint correction on the front hood and bumper both of which wrapped in clear film.

    RIDS and swirls

    [​IMG]

    After a few passes compoudning

    [​IMG]

    Front bumper, 50/50

    [​IMG]

    More film

    [​IMG]

    After

    [​IMG]

    Now onto the more serious stuff, the entire finish had some light wash marring with lots of RIDS and DA sanding scratches from the factory.

    Sand scratches and pig tailing...

    Holograms too

    [​IMG]

    After several passes compounding and polishing

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Refining the coarse finish left from compounding at.... 2300rpm :crasy:

    1900 and slower passes during the polishing stage, working products at 1500rpm does very little for extremely hard paint
